I'm sure there is at least one.

I bought Diesel for $700 dollars and he is a very healthy 5 pound dog. You really can't blame just one person for the high prices. I have seen some rather steep prices right here on YT. Of course not that steep. My point is that if everyone breeding kept their prices down this wouldn't even be an issue.

I agree. You have to draw the line somewhere or it's just going to get out of hand like it has for this poor Yorkie. It seems inevitable that she would have some health problem associated with the size.

My favorite part about that listing is that she is listed at a $10,000 value and they boast about the 15% savings!!!!! Give me a break! If she cared at all about placing that dog in a forever home she wouldn't be asking the price of a used car for her!

That is nuts!

She is cute, but not $8,500 cute. I just can't understand why one person would buy a yorkie for that much when they could several yorkies for that amount of money.

That's ridiculous! She's a real cutie, but I'd have to wonder about her health since she's that small.

That's so sad poor little one.shame on ppl who does this for $$$$$$

That pup is gorgeous but that price is to rich for my blood.

Sorry guys... I'm not even that impressed with her.... Her coat looks awful! Its sparse and thin very terrier like.... she looks like toto!

Aside from the high price she just does not look like she is from quality stock... I would at least want a healthy looking, even coated dog for that price!!!

I guess she is made of solid "Platinum" Gold for that price? This has got to stop.......is that not outlandish? Why, Why, Why, would you? Even if you could afford to pay that price pay that much for a Yorkie or any other dog for that matter? Who in their right mind? That has to be a mistake/misprint?
The Brooklyn Bridge is for Sale too! While your @ it! I think all the current pricing for Yorkies is pretty out of control and unfortunately they are alot out there that are not even "Breeding Quality"! In fact my female is pregnant and due this coming week and I am already getting calls for a "Teacup" size only
even though mine aren't too big @ a muscular 9 lbs. each (I have a male too)
I really don't prefer them too small for obvious reasons.
Did you notice the original price was $10,000.00? They even had the nerve to charge an extra $350.00 for the shipping cost, you would think @ that price they could @ least include that in?

I thought the same thing!! Can you believe she shows the mom who is only 3 pounds and they bred her.
I think the lady is only out for $$. Did she have other dogs for sale too?

She is a doll, but I myself think she looks sickly...What do U all think? I mean there's just something about her that makes her look different. Hugs, Lee & Babies

I totally agree!

That's not the mom with the puppy, it's HER mom's dog that weighs 3 pounds next to the puppy just to show a size difference. The lady said she paid an arm and a leg for her but she's too little to be around her kids blah blah blah...translated means "I bought her and am reselling her to make a profit"

It's extremely fishy to me. First the pictures, that dog has black hair right above it's nose that sticks straight out. That's just weird, they are selling a puppy for that much money but didn't take a picture of it with it's hair actually brushed right? Then she said it's 1.7 pounds and under 1 1/2 pounds. That wouldn't be 1.5 pounds?

Honestly, If I could have afforded it, I would have paid any amount of money to guarantee I got the size dog I've always wanted. I don't think it's stupid to pay a large amount for a friend/pet that will live a very long time and become your best friend. I paid much more for a car that didn't last as long. I don't think people who buy teacup puppies even buy them to show off. I live in a tiny town, who's there to impress? No one.

I couldn't afford anywhere near that though and I wouldn't judge anyone who could afford it. I don't think it makes them gullible if they'd pay that much. It makes them extremely fortunate to be able to buy whatever they want no matter what it costs. I'm completely jealous.
